This is a vintage brass wall sconce light fixture. It is a BASS Clamp-O-Set, meant to be mounted on a wall as a sconce. It doesn't have it's shade. It has tarnish and some dings. It does have a nice Paulding chain pull socket that works well. DEFINITELY needs to be rewired. Not in the best of shape but the light socket alone is worth the opening bid. 
  I purchased a partial estate LOADED with oil and gas lamps, shades, burners, flame spreaders, chimneys, sconces, tanks, and literally thousands of parts, which I will be listing over the next couple weeks so be sure to check out my store and add to favorites.
